ARCA teams prepare for soaring temps

With temperatures expected to be in the 90s for Sunday's Herr's Live Life With Flavor 200 at Madison International Speedway, race teams are already preparing themselves for the heat battle.

"We talk about it and we tell our teams to start preparing during the week," said Kevin Reed, crew chief for the No. 15 Venturini Motorsports car. "It's always a concern. This year, fortunately, the heat hasn't been an issue, it's mainly been the rain.

"But, we tell our team to drink lots of water and Gatorade, a mixture of them."
